WTB Any Lou Gehrig Exhibit Card(s)

[orly57]

That may be true Peter. First appearances are worth more in everything from comic books to baseball cards. I personally think the 1907 Cobb postcards are grossly undervalued and will one day catch a fire that would make this Gehrig blush. There are 9 graded Wolverine News Ty Cobbs (9 batting and 9 pose) between psa and SGC. There are about 11 Novelty Cutlery Cobbs. They are the first appearances of perhaps the greatest ballplayer of all time, and, they happen to be stunning. Hopefully the Gehrig is the first domino in that chain reaction.
Here is another example of what you alluded to. This Ruth is as beautiful an image as any Ruth baseball card, and is far more rare than the goudeys, but this psa 5 would probably sell for around what a psa 3 goudey sells for. In my mind, this will inevitably change, or in the worst case scenerio, I can keep buying awesome cards for reasonable prices. Honestly, name one "standard issue" Ruth card with a cooler image.
As for the 4 in 1 cards, multi-player cards arent particularly popular in "normal" card collecting either. The johnny bench, nolan ryan, and pete rose rookie cards would be far more valuable if it were just them. Plus one of the great things about postcards is the big bold image of the player, while 4-in-1s are images in small boxes. I like them fine, but they arent as majestic as an individual postcard.
